richard buckner – johnnie sayre lyrics
Loading...
father, thou canst never know
the anguish that smote my heart
for my disobedience, the moment i felt
the remorseless wheel of the engine
sink into the crying flesh of my leg.
as they carried me to the home of widow morris
i could see the school-house in the valley
to which i played truant to steal rides upon the trains.
i prayed to live until i could ask your forgiveness–
and then your tears, your broken words of comfort!
from the solace of that hour i have gained infinite
happiness.
thou wert wise to chisel for me:
“taken from the evil to come.”
